There are PLENTY of variants available. These are my favorites, the "Go-Tos" if you will.
Who knows, you might save some money by avoiding the purchase of useless accessories. I'd rather save money on building supplies to buy kits and engines.
First up -
THE HOBBY KNIFE!
The standard hobby knife is the X-Acto #1 handle and #11 blade.
You can buy a full case of handles and blades, but in the end this is the one you'll return to.
#11 blades can get expensive!
Five new blades for $3.00 or 60 cents each!
They do get cheaper when you buy in 100 piece bulk packs.
But, less expensive than that . . .
You don't have to buy X-Acto branded blades -
This 100 pack of Excel blades is available online: CLICK HERE
$20.00 for 100 blades or $.20 each!
There are more cheaper choices.
Chinese made #11 size blades are out there but don't always fit the #11 handle. I've had mixed results with the blades from China.
agreed , all the weird special blades and I would behappy with #11 and the small toothed saw blade ....the rest meh

DeleteYep, those are the only two tools in the box that are worthwhile.
